Re: The Lizard, Italian style

Does anybody know the fate of the Lizard after the Sydney system
closed in 1961??

The latest issue of "Trolley Wire" has an interesting article on
construction of "The Lizard"... the road trailer used by NSW

Tramways

to transfer trams between the main Sydney system and some of the
isolated sections of the network. The article covered the

engineering

behind the construction of The Lizard in the UK, including a photo

of

it being tested by a Liverpool tramways double deck car being driven
onto it.

The Lizard was quite an impressive vehicle but it pales into
insignificance compared to what I found on an Italian tram web sight
today.....

The caption read... "Eurotram for the city of Milan at the Sempione
